blah blah blah

so, it’s election time in british columbia. the candidates have littered every available greenspace with their name and party affilation. everywhere you go “vote for joe bloe!” bleh. i think it should be illegal to put political advertising on public property. landowners should have every right to put whateverthehell they want on their lawns, but defacing public parks & meridians. it’s shameful.
that’s not my point. my point is that the leader of the party trying to oust the party who’s been in government for the last, um, ten years or so is complaining because the opponent ran a “negative” television ad. why is he complaining? don’t all politicians run negative advertising? well, the twist is that reportedly these two gentlemen promised not to run any negative ads during the campaign.
that’s really nice. very big of them. personally, i hate election time in the states because of all the crappy negative advertising which wafts up here thanks to our reliance on american broadcasting. so, i actually appreciate that they swore not to sink to that level (forgetting entirely that i turn the channel as soon as i see one of their ugly mugs on the screen).
what makes me laugh is mr. campbell is upset because he actually *believed* what another politician said. that just goes to show he shouldn’t be in charge. never believe what comes out of a politician’s mouth. that’s just common sense.
